Children who don’t read can’t succeed. It’s just that simple.

Page Turners promotes shared reading experiences that engage, inspire and expand students’ knowledge of themselves and the world around them.  When books occupy a central place in a child’s world of entertainment, spirited conversations, personal discoveries and lasting learning are sure to follow.

Our Mission

Page Turners Make Great Learners, Inc.’s mission is to expand children’s knowledge and understanding of the world, themselves and their unique possibilities through a love of reading.
